Isn't a better solution to create a reputation score just for email addresses? You start out very low, and sending emails further lowers your score. However, every email that is read (and not marked spam) increases it a little more. If reputations start out just marginally above the "straight to spam" tolerance level, then spam accounts can only get out a few emails.

I do not have anything backed up on any cloud servers on any provider. If I had to buy a new phone I would start from a fresh installation and move all of my data locally. It's not that I'm a "luddite", I just couldn't keep track of all of the different ways each cloud provider was managing my data, so I disabled all of them.
As a European it feels weird to know that 55 percent of US population/voters have a very similar opinion, while on this big US based blog these opinions get downvoted.

I will never ever understand what is currently and 8 years ago is/was going on in the US.
Perhaps. Most certainly the unelected musk / ramaswamy coalition is all about that. It's really up in the air how this will go. With the recent meltdown on X, I await Trump's words and actions. His base is unhappy, as is his inner circle. Musk is flailing, telling people to "fuck yourself in the face" etc.
Does trump's base matter now that he's in his 2nd term, or will he tether himself to musk for the duration of his time in office? It will be an interesting 4 years.
> the ship was boarded in Finland's EEZ and then escorted INTO Finnish territorial waters

You have misread. At least here in Q2 (https://yle.fi/a/74-20133775) Yle writes that first the ship was asked to move to Finnish territorial waters, and only then it was boarded.
Not just that, but you can get health insurance not tied to your job in the US. It costs some money, unfortunately it is tied to income, but if you're planning on lowering your income to improve your quality of life, it should help quite a bit on the healthcare cost side of things.
The Twitter feature to mute by phrases existed for at least 10 years.
No, this is not on by default. After system install at first boot it asks if you want to help improve search and it describes how your data will be handled, anonymized, etc. If you clicked on yes it is on. There is a choice to opt out.

A calorie surplus of 1800/day is ~190 lbs/yr. Is that something people actually do?
Okay, so the original argument is about whether or not it's worth it to fly people out for an on-site. Hotel and airfare: $2000 absolute max. Salary at $100/hr for one month for me to figure out it's not going to work out, then pull the trigger to fire: $24,000.

I mean, being a manager is hard, but putting in the time and money to hire and then putting in the time to make sure your team doesn't have a morale drag, it's worth it.
Hyperspectral sensors help characterize polymers in e-waste to improve recycling
Absolutely, it's very rare for an undergrad to be on a paper. But that's what makes it such a strong signal: it shows they had the grit and maturity to contribute to a research effort to completion, in a team with people more experienced than they are. In an interview, it gives them something non-trivial to talk about and be proud of. That's very likely a strong junior candidate.
Yes, and you should disable autoplay and browse with intent. You should network with others and use your network as a discovery pipeline instead of relying on an opaque algorithm.

After a while, the algorithm aligns somewhat anyway and you occasionally get a good recommendation from the front page or related videos. But first, you have to curate your tastes so that it knows what to pull.

I could generalize your comment to say that the world wide web itself contains a vast repository of useless or malicious content and is a dangerous pipeline to extremism. But we find corners of it that don't facilitate toxic content, and we ensure the livelihood of those who produce useful things for us. They benefit from a narrowcasting service with a large audience and ad network such as YouTube. Until one of us can provide them a better service, that's what they're stuck with.
A lot of drug cases are mistaken for mental illness also, which further bogs down the system since the treatments for each are very different.
You're presenting a false dichotomy between "perfect user understanding" and "no user choice." The issue isn't whether users can fully comprehend homomorphic encryption or differential privacy – it's about basic consent and transparency.

Consider these points:

1. Users don't need a PhD to understand "This feature will send data about your photos to Apple's servers to enable better search."

2. The complexity of the privacy protections doesn't justify removing user choice. By that logic, we should never ask users about any technical feature.

3. Many privacy-conscious users follow a simple principle: they want control over what leaves their device, regardless of how it's protected.

The "it's too complex to explain" argument could justify any privacy-invasive default. Would you apply the same logic to, say, enabling location services by default because explaining GPS technology is too complex?

The real solution is simple: explain the feature in plain language, highlight the benefits, outline the privacy protections, and let users make their own choice. Apple already does this for many other features. "Default off with opt-in" is a core principle of privacy-respecting design, regardless of how robust the underlying protections are.

The issue is, if you're looking for only one hire out of a thousand applicants, you need a 99.9% accurate AI. HR isn't that good, so it'll be mildly difficult to train an AI to be that good.

Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk
Trump's election might be pretty bad for Russia after all. With Democrats already being committed to Ukraine and Republicans committed to Trump, the whole congress is ready for a pretty much unlimited (material) help to Ukraine if Trump wants it. And the threat of exactly that is necessary for successful peace negotiations, which in turn is what would score Trump major political points.

You might want to make that a little more biassed towards major train stations in regions with dense train networks. I wanted to see how far I could get from Amsterdam, but it kept localizing me to hyper-local stations like Duivendrecht or Zaandam, which isn't super useful =)
Not an opinion, it's a verifiable fact that all gains have gone to the wealthy. Search "productivity hourly compensation graph" in your favorite image search. Effectively all gains for decades have gone to the already rich, not the working class. "Hellscape" is a reasonable assessment for a world in which most families' kids have worse prospects than their parents, they get to live under the thumb of an oligarchy with even more power. The only way out of this is a massive readjustment, so get used to hearing a lot of stuff you don't want to, because the wealth gap is making anti-corporate, anti-wealth sentiment inevitable.
one way out is to get good enough with AI as a tech to automate various yet-to-be-automated industries, find customers, get investors, etc... if you try to get a job for 12 months and fail, isn't it better to try another rout? the AI angle is just one of many
Hate how this has become the job market. I finished my degree in July but was only able to find a job in November. Might not sound like a lot but it took almost 50 manual job applications, all with varying experiences.

So it says nothing about jeans at all? Magnus was wearing unicoloured navy jeans at the time, which fall within the rules you quoted.

100% this. I pay for YT Premium so I have YT Music for free, and I still choose to pay for Spotify because the YT Music app is that bad. Spotify's app is not perfect by any stretch, but comparatively it's amazing. I really miss the old Google Music service. But so goes almost any product run by Google for long enough -- slowly and inevitably into the ground (at least in terms of user experience, if not always in market share).
You could even use that feature to have all kinds of annoyances vanish, by muting suggest_activity_tweet, suggest_activity_retweet and a dozen or two more keywords. There were lists floating around which words you had to mute.

I am okay with universities have two years of unrelated classes because that's part of what higher education has traditionally been about - exposure to a lot of concepts, and I agree many have very little impact on your career as a software developer, but a degree was historically about more than just getting a job. It's slowly morphed that way over time, but if your main goal is getting a programming job, there are much faster and cheaper (free) ways to do that in 2024. There are 100 lifetimes on quality online content around software development and learning those skills, building a portfolio, and being able to demonstrate them well in an interview will definitely land you a job (at least prior to 2024 it would)
I wonder if we might see the rise a broad but weak "yes that's a real person" referral system as opposed to "I know that person will be good for the job" referrals.

A quick search on planhub.ca for 60GB with BYOD and unlimited calls in Canada is $35. That's 8x your cost, and that's the minimum, with obscure telcos that piggyback on others' networks, so quality is not great. The Big 3 are more around $45-50.

Companies develop documentation processes as they get bigger for myriad reasons, but there is very little to worry about in the US in the way of terminating someone.

The only adverse effect most times is increase in unemployment insurance premiums, if you do not have enough documentation to show you terminated for cause.

Otherwise, 99.9% of the time, the terminated person can claim whatever kind of wrongful termination they want, they probably won’t get anywhere via the courts.

Define the objective metric that you would use to assess a candidate's work ethic or reputation credit score. Would LinkedIn issue it, as if it were a popularity contest?

And come to think of it, actually, credit scores can be gamed. It's well known that when companies and territories get credit scores they are largely a con game, as in based on the conifdence the raters have on your future performance, and not objective reality.

Likewise, credit scores can be juiced and tools exist to help you improve them and track them. But a bad credit score doesn't always mean fiscal mismanagement. It could be loans from a predatory lender or due to a medical expense or something completely outside the context the credit check is to be used for. Credit scores tell you if someone has lots of money first, and if they are smart with their money second. People with financial means often have good credit scores but can be as likely to default if their circumstances change. Perhaps more likely if the amounts of money at play are greater. People got those subprime mortgages with great credit scores, somehow.

So... Yeah, credit scores for loans are a form of outsourcing of responsibilities. But the point is somewhat well taken. The equivalent in hiring to a credit score isn't to ask banks but to do reference checks and ask a network or former manager about a hire.

Credit scores can easily be discriminatory as much as criminal charges (without due process, at least) and other unfair systems. We just normalize it because it works for most people. We poke fun at it when other countries try to come up with e.g. a social credit score, though.

I'm 50-something, lots of the friends I've made in the last one to four years birdwatching are close now. I have old friends from 30 years ago but they're mostly a drain. I've formed new relationships with folks in my Tai Chi class as well. We're very close now, closer than I am with any of my old friends.

It might be that for some old friends add extra richness and depth to relationships, but that has not been my experience at all and I'm glad I've found local friends with common interests - I certainly prefer them to people I happened to go to school with. I know some folks from my job from long ago, and seeing old friends is nice, but still I mostly want to talk to the few that I still have some shared interest in common now.

> There was 0 chance Ukraine was going to just flop over.

That's a huge hindsight bias. Even the most optimistic scenarios from various secret services / think tanks predicted only weeks / few months of resistance at the most. If you read Ukrainian accounts, most weren't very optimistic either. You can also read up how many commanders in the south defected - having more such defectors could flip the war quite quickly. The question of whether to defect or not (or simply run) is something which many did on the spot based on their personal circumstances and outlook, it's extremely difficult to predict.
I understand it how it applies to a virus, because a virus has a mechanism for action. In fact a virus is all mechanism for action; its behaviour is emergent from just being the surviving behaviour, rather than any grand strategizing.

But for AI, they are all brains (or that's the claim) but no brawn. How do they act?
